Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Hajer was professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. She picked me up at my hotel on time and the tour was fascinating. She took the opportunity to show me the turist attractions but also spent time showing me the normal activities of an Omani person. Her music playlist rocks, too. Thank you, Hajer. It was a sincere pleasure to spend the day with you. Do not hesitate selecting Hajer as your tour guide. You won't be disappointed. "
"We have used With Locals in Rome and Athens, and they do not disappoint! So it was a given that we booked our tour of Muscat city, a fascinating place. Nasser picked us up and we drove around this fabulous clean, well laid out city, visiting the Sultan grand mosque, which was incredible and well worth a visit! The lovely staff helped me with fitting my Abaya (dress) and lihaf (headscarf) , which I hired as dress ettiequte is a must for woman and men (long pants, long sleeve shirt) in Oman and of course, should be respected. We visited the local fish market and grocery market in Matrah, the Matrah Souq (market - buy your tee shirts in here not outside on street - better pricing), old Muscat where you will stop at the Sultan's palace and the Portuguese Fort from outside. We choose not to go into either the Royal Opera House or Museum (due to travel tiredness). Nasser took us to a lovely local restaurant, Ramssa, the Omani food was really good. Nasser took time to explain and answer any of our many questions about Muscat. Great tour, thoroughly enjoyed the content and of course our lovely Guide."
"This was the perfect start to our trip to Muscat. Hayer was bang on time to pick us up and we were whisked off to some lovely sights around the city, all the time Hajer filled us in on her city and Oman life in general. A little shopping in the souk and a couple of delightful local delicacies ended the evening beautifully. I can't recommend Hajer more highly. Thank you!"

"We had such a nice experience with Alwaad! A whole day of individual exploring with an authentic Omani taste. Alwaad showed us around Muscat and Muttrah, cared very individually to our interests and gave us a unique insight into Omani way of life. She gave us valuable tips for our following trip and knew the best places and stories. She went out of her way with her hospitality and showing us around. Thank you, Alwaad! We loved every minute of it!"
"Hajer made my day yesterday! If you want to see Muscat with all its different spots, colors and flavors, just book the 5 hour tour with Hajer. She is just fabulous! She is history, she is culture, she is sympathy, in summary she is a great company to give you the full experience in Muscat! If you are considering a full immersion in Muscat don’t miss Hajer. She will make a difference! "
"Hajer was our guide for trips taking us all over the city, up into the mountains and out into the sea; humouring side requests (cassette hunting, frankincense huffing) and restaurant stops. We were also treated to ‘homework’ size portions of rice, saffron tea and the unforgettable no. 1 national dish, Chips Oman. Hajer’s love for the country is clear — everywhere we visited, she seemed to be just as awed and appreciative of everything as we were, as if we were all seeing it for the first time. Guided tours seldom have that feel to them, and it made all the difference. Thank you, Hajer!"
"I spent a wonderful few hours with Hajer visiting local villages, dipping my toes in the Sea and trying local ‘delicacies’! Hajer was very easy to talk to and quite knowledgeable, making the tour feel like I was seeing the city with a friend. I hope to be back and would absolutely hire her again. "
"We did a tour with Hajer in Muscat. we were traveling with a group of 9 people including small children. Hajer made it a nice tour for both adults and children, where we saw the highlights of Muscat in a short time. On the way we had interesting conversations about Oman and the local culture."
"Yousuf was our guide for a day of exploring Muscat and it could not have been better. He arrived at our hotel on time (was flexible to change the meeting point for pick up and drop off at our hotel which was out of the city centre) and provided us with with a local’s guide to his city, including the best spot to see the sunset. He even provided guidance as to the best time to start the tour to make sure we saw the sunset. He wanted to know what wanted to see but Siri gave his local suggestions. A great way to see Muscat at night, which is definitely worth doing. Thanks Yousuf! "
